gave Cos and his troops six days to leave the Alamo. Burleson provided the Mexican Army with as many supplies as he could spare, and the Mexican wounded were allowed to remain behind to be treated by Texian doctors. Memorials In 1897, the Daughters of the Republic of Texas placed a marker on Milam's grave site at Milam Park, San Antonio; the marker was moved in 1976 and the location of the grave was forgotten until it was found again in 1993. The statue facing the grave is by Bonnie MacLeary. On July 17, 1938, a statue of Milam was unveiled at the Milam County Courthouse in Cameron, Texas. Many places in Texas are named for Milam, including the Ben Milam Hotel and Milam Street in Houston and the Milam Building in San Antonio. References . .
